Fasttech - interesting new products - Flashlights, chargers, batteries and DIY and knives - please no discussions.

Or maybe it’s just a good copy. I’d buy original instead simply because it’s cheaper. About FandyFire A9-T60 (it has XM-L, not XM-L2) - both TF and Ultrafire A9 are just copies of Tiablo A9.

FastTech really just post what info their distributor provides (including errors), though at least they make their own product photos. I would guess if they do not specifically say XM-L2 there is a chance XM-L could be sent. :~

I’m not sure if these have been posted, but FT has some cheap new 18650 lights like:

Gold/side switch:

There’s a black and gray one also.

These look like there mechanical side switchers (rather than electronic), so hopefully no parasitic drain.

K1TU2 1*Cree XM-L2 U2 5-Mode 600LM Cool White (beam shot looks more NW) LED Bike Light Euro plug charger. I like that it has a XM-L2, a Beam Diffuser is incl. and it comes with a 18650 battery box (without batteries - I think you need unprotected). Better a battery box, which can be filled with good batteries as a battery pack with unknown quality. I dislike the 5 mode. Price: $23,48. My link - non aff-link

The next two are multifunction flashlights.
C3 Cigar Style 3-in-1 LED Flashlight & Mobile Power Bank & Battery Charger 1*18650 / Cree XP-E R3 LED / DC 5V/1A output / black (available in silver, too). The beamshot has a donut hole. The combination of red and black looks good (better as the silver version). It is made of aluminum, has a side switch and supported a battery length of 68mm. Price: $14,24. My link - non aff-link

You need music around you and a flashlight?
FreeMan X7 Water Resistant Speaker & LED Flashlight 1*18650 / microSD + 3.5mm line-in / FM radio. It supported micro SD up to 32GB, mp3 up to 320kbps has a FM radio. It has a Cree XP-E LED a 5 or 6 modes.

You will find more pictures and more specification there, too. Price: $34,82 (5% less, like every flashlight with BLF: $33,08). My link - non aff-link

Interesting homage to 5.11 Tactical. :~ A laser glove, so you can unwittingly damage several retinas at once.

BD-01 rechargeable flashlight for 36.15 USD:

SuperFire cells (!!)

Sky Ray 6000mAh 26650 cells? Actual capacity 3000mAh. Flat top, protected and unprotected available (10.31 USD and 9.21 USD respectively).

The BD01 has a nice design.
There are also two other intresting products:
A blue LED drop-in: UltraFire Cree XP-E B3 1-Mode 60LM 465nm Blue LED. $7,08 (5% less with BLF). Is this useful - I think for most people it looks only cool or maybe someone can use it for light painting. Some people wrote that blue light (I don't mean UV) is good for hunters (blood should look black under blue light and it is easier to notice on leaves, trees etc.). My link - non-aff link.


This looks also interesting. It is available as a 26650 XM-L2 with a 3 mode (high, low, strobe) and only 1,8A on high for $21,20. My link - non aff-link.
Edit: Have missed the difference sizes (between the LLJ-03 and 04) - first short look, I thought both were the same, only with different LED and driver. Sorry my fault and thank you for the tip.
If you want more power and change the driver, why don't you also change the LED and buy the cheaper XP-E version for $11,92 - a 14500 version and smaller as the 26650 (has the same reflector). Buy a 105C with 2,8A ($3,31) and a XM-L2, which you like for example XM-L2 T6 4D (4300-4500K) $5,24. Of course you need some thermal glue or paste and a little bit of time but you can get a great flashlight for only a few cents more as the ready XM-L2 product.

What is the purpose of this blue led?
For examples: UV led can reveal marks on money and credit cards.

LLJ-04 is a 14500 light with significantly smaller head, right?

A lot smaller according to their listed dimensions.

The LLJ-01 is like a swiss army knife.

FastTech have these silicone 18650 sleeves to hold one cell, 1.13 USD each, various colours available. Not waterproof but will prevent shorting. It doesn’t state if protected cells will fit.

For hunters to help see blood trail of wounded animals. :~

Fasttect product page says “Battery Form Factor - AA” ??

It annoys me that I’ve got error reports still pending as far back as 2nd December 2013, they just can’t be bothered to correct mistakes in descriptions.

FT listed a Niteize product and a few in the last days. In the mini tool thread some people like these and now after listed the third I post these here, too.

1. Niteize KIC-11-R3 Carabiner Clip Infini-Key Key Ring stainless steel $2,13


2. Niteize C9S-03-TP01 Figure 9 Carabiner Small Rope Tightener w/ Secures Ropes, load limit 22.5kg, 2*Carabiners, 2*Ropes (240cm*3mm), $7,34

3. Niteize NCJS-01-2R2 CamJam Small Cord Tightener - set of two $2,82
I post one link - every tool can be chosen with the drop-down menu on the FT page. My link - non aff-link


1. 2.

3.

One flashlight with a similar size as the HD2010 and the Shadow SL3.
809 1*Cree XM-L T6 (picture shows a XM-L2) 3-Mode (high, low, strobe) 600-Lumen Cool White Rechargeable LED Flashlight grey / 1A output mobile power bank. The size is simlar to the Shadow SL3 or HD2010, which use a 26650 or 18650. If you use both the chance is high, that one of these will fit. Price: $25,99 (5% less with BLF). My link - non aff-link



Is there any official statement, about battery shipping? i’m unable to order!

When will it be resolved? any current info?

The description says - “Battery type: Fixed”. Not sure that it uses 18650/26650 or that the battery is easily accessible/replaceable.

Authentic MNKE IMR26650 3.7V 4000mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (2-Pack) 35A continuous discharge. Price for a pair in a plastic box: $22,10 (with BLF $21). They are genuine MNKE cells - FT confirmed this. Some people in the fasttech forum wrote, that $22,10 for a pair isn't a bargain price in the US (the price in the US should only $1-2 higher). I don't know, if this is true or not, but here in Germany the price for good 26650 are much higher. The UK prices for good 26650 is also higher as someone wrote. Please don't discuss the price here.

Authentic MNKE IMR18650 3.8V 1500mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack) 25A maximum discharge. This batteries are only interesting for modders or vapors. Who else needs a discharge rate of 25A! Price for a pair: $9,17 (with BLF coupon $8,71) with a plastic box. My link - non aff-link



^ Also interesting for cordless powertools!
